Owner description: Tour de Vines offers cycling tours that capture the major highlights of wine & gourmet regions in Australia and overseas. Group guided and self guided tours are available, including our most popular Murray to Mountains Rail Trail tour from Beechworth (in stunning north east Victoria/Australia). The cycling is easy, in small groups with all wine tastings and gourmet meals included.

We enjoyed every day of our tour de Hawkes Bay.A highlight was the Church Road winery tour and food and wine matching experience with a very knowledgeable winery guide.We appreciated the optional extra rides and the flexibility of our tour guide.The off road trails were fabulous and the small amount of on road cycling, while not quite as pleasant, enabled us to visit interesting wineries. Even a bit of rain didn't dampen our spirits!The coastal scenery was stunning with vineyards backed by the ocean and the dramatic backdrop of Cape Kidnappers.Group dinners and wine tastings with our fellow cyclists were lots of fun. We kept our bikes for an extra day at the conclusion of the tour to explore the lovely city of Napier. The pohutakowa trees in full bloom were stunning. December is a great time to visit.We hope to be back in NZ for more cycling soon.

A great cycling tour through pretty countryside. This tour was all about the wine and food of the region. It was well run, the bikes were new and well maintained. The wine and food experiences were many and varied. We ended up doing about 50 ks per day on pretty flat gravel and quiet road tracks. Like all these type of tours you need a few practice ks in your legs before you start so you can enjoy the tour experience and not be worried about riding or being worn out at the end of each day. This was out third Tour de Vines riding tour and once again we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

This was such a great day out! I haven't cycled for years but with my millennial confidence that nothing could be *that* difficult, I booked it for my boyfriend (a real bicycle person) and myself. We were greeted by the very friendly Bernard who set us up with bikes, helmets and directions. There's about 10 minutes of uphill and quite a bit of downhill at the beginning and after that all flat. I won't say I wasn't sore the next day, but we raced through and you could easily go slower and still see all the places - we were early to everything haha. The scenery and all the stops are just gorgeous. The tour is such a beautiful way to experience this amazing area. All the owners/managers/store people are so friendly and welcoming. It was no surprise that we passed so many people on bicycles doing similar cycle/eat/drink tours (both guided and self-guided). The thing that I loved most about this tour was that everything is included and all the bookings are made for you. And that lift back to Beechworth was very appreciated at the end of a long day.I highly recommend bringing a small backpack for your wallet, phone, maps, etc! (and put sunscreen on before you set off!)

The self-guided tour is exactly as advertised: "a brilliant cycling tour that captures the major highlights of Beechworth and the Milawa wine and gourmet food region." Good fun, delicious stops and really well organized.
